Report: TNA and Davey Richards Reportedly Reach Out to Talent, Notable Name Forced to Turn Them Down

June 13, 2014

According to The Wrestling Observer, TNA star Davey Richards, along with TNA officials, have been reaching out to Ring of Honor talents in order to get them signed to a TNA contract.

Richards has reportedly been in contact with talents who are currently under contract to ROH, namely ROH Tag Team Champs Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish.

Richards has also reportedly reached out to Jay Lethal for a possible appearance at TNA's Destination X Impact Wrestling tapings, however Lethal turned down the offer as he is currently under contract to ROH.

Several sources in TNA are noting Richards has contacted the above talents independent of TNA, as TNA's policy is not to negotiate with talents who are currently under contract to a different promotion.
